Editorial Review:
Maddie Hayes, a wealthy former model, discovers one morning that her business manager has stolen all the money she has in the bank. However, it turns out that she still owns some non-liquid assets -- money-losing companies which were maintained as tax write-offs -- one of which is a detective agency run by David Addison. Maddie meets with him to inform him that the company is to be shut down, but he persuades her to keep it open by convincing her that the detective agency can make money. Maddie becomes David's new boss and accompanies him on adventure after adventure. While their personalities clash, a sexual tension arises in the time they spend together. But the question always remains... will they or won't they?
Moonlighting - Season Five - The Final Season Reviews:
Moonlighting fan 
2009-09-13 - This TV show was one of my favorite shows to watch. It took a long time for it come on DVD, but it was worth the wait. I have all the seasons and continue to be entertained by the antics of David and Maddy and the crew at Blue Moon Detective Agency.
Moonlighting
2009-05-14 - Arrived fast, mint new condition--very happy with this purchase. Funny series that all ages can enjoy, with silly and clever humor.
Moonlighting, One Of A Kind!
2009-03-05 - For a while there, Moonlighting was great, wasn't it? It's a show that truly defines the 80s (the clothes, the attitude), it was really fun and clever, and made Bruce Willis an A list star. Sometimes it's easy to forget how SCREWED UP the show got there for a while. Almost every episode had some problem (script delays, fighting between cast members), and there were whole episodes that were affected by a writers strike and episodes where costars Allyce Beasley and Curtis Armstrong had to take over. It was a rather up and down show, especially in the last couple of years. But it was always entertaining and even joked about these delays and problems in a good, wink-wink sort of way.
The final season DVD begins with one of the odder moments of the show, the "A Womb With A View" episode. Maddie (Cybill Shepherd) is pregnant and the child waiting to be born and visited by an angel. She ends up having a miscarriage, and I always thought that was a really uncomfortable plot to have to deal with. The show was always driven by a "will they or won't they have sex" plot, and then they had them have sex and then she got pregnant? And then she has a miscarriage?
This last season is 13 episodes long, and while it's not the best the show had to offer in the earlier seasons, there's still some good stuff here. "Plastic Fantastic Lovers" is an interesting episode (written by Permanent Midnight author Jerry Stahl) and the late Charles Rocket shows up again as David's (Willis) brother in "Those Lips, Those Eyes." David also falls in love with guest star Virginia Madsen (playing Maddie's cousin Annie), but that ends too. Not that he ends up with Maddie either. But in the end of the series, Agnes DiPesto and Bert get married.
This is a really good show to have on DVD, since it's not shown much anymore and it's great to pop in a DVD and sit back and say "oh, yeah, this episode was great!" Thery're aren't many "great" episodes in this last season, but Moonlighting is well worth having on DVD. All five seasons.
Ahhhhhhh the memories!
2009-01-20 - I grew up watching and loving this show. The chemistry Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd had on that show was not only funny but entertaining. Cybill's feistiness and Bruce's joking and sarcastic antics kept you anxious for the next episode. I will no doubt be watching it over and over again.
They just couldn't recover 
2008-12-12 - This season of Moonlighting was slightly better than season four but the writers tryed to patch up the relations ship between the characters in a haphazard way and the story line never recovered from season four. AS a result the show was cut short and so you only get 13 episodes instead of 22. In my opinion it should be a lot less expensive since you don't get as much.
